Yes... GeePS started as just a front-end to google maps. It is growing to have some functions not directly related to google maps. But all that has to do with showing a map is "google maps",

I assume you are talking about the google "kit" for symbian phones. If that is the case both are front-ends that embed a web site using google maps Javascript API.

Thanks for answering my question. Because this is a front end to the website, is that a reason it may be difficult to incorporate touch scrolling as opposed to using the 4 arrows to scroll around?

The google maps I had on my n-series phones were acquired my giving google my phone number, and I received a text prompting me to download a goooglemaps.sis file. The file was small, so I guess everything makes sense now...
